Hello everyone,
It was a beautiful sunny day here again and with March on the horizon I could feel the promise of spring in the air. With a few half finished projects on the go,I wasn't sure what to share with you today.
So, I think it has been awhile since I shared pics of our toile guest room so for those of you who have seen it before-hopefully you won't mind another peek around. The wallpaper was a neat find at Marden's for $2 a double roll. The pillows and comforter were a thrift shop find that were a perfect match. The vintage bedspread at the end of the bed came from the70 mile yardsale last fall.
A small tray with a toile tea set.
A lacy ivory vintage nightgown and a feminine lacy pillow.
A cameo box for your pearls.
Pretty pink roses for the bedside table.
This antique nightgown is all handstitched and was a gift from my neighbour made by her maiden aunt.
Some lace on display.
Well, that is our brown and white toile guest room. I guess I didn't show the pine board floors but I am thinking of painting them white soon. Anyone have any advise on how well they stand up to traffic-not that we have a lot of guests scuffing up the floors but you never know!
Thank you for visiting,
Carolyn

Hi Carolyn, I've just discovered your blog and I must say I'm in heaven! It's beautiful!
Well as big a fan I definately AM of your blog of your awesome home and gardens I have never seen this guest room- so glad you decided to share it today!
I need some inspiration - in a slump trying to find the right bed for the master - your headboard on that bed IS SIMPLY TO DIE FOR!
That handstiched nightgown gift, wow, how lovely and generous/sweet of your neighbor- she knew she gave it to the right person.
I posted about a sweet gift today too.
BTW there is SO much information in blogs on white painted floors I have seen lately6- you may want to try Pinterest too - such a plethora of info there.
I think it would be AWESOME. But then I have never done it so don't listen to me, haha.
Oh, my goodness! I have the exact same headboard as the white one here! Only mine has not been painted,(well it's really my daughter's but at my home) It's over 100 years old- I LOVE it painted!
I really really enjoy your blog- everything is so beautiful! You must have some nice thrift stores in your part of the world, ours don't seem to have as great of finds as yours do! Thank you for sharing your home and garden with us!
This room is quite lovely! I can't help with the floors but I am sure someone knows!
Carolyn, you have the prettiest things every. Loved the look of this guest room and all the accessories as well. Susan
